In this episode of Control or Be Controlled, we sit down with Sheekha Singh, tech leader and author of Unburnable Ambition, to unpack the hidden cost of high achievement — and what it really takes to succeed without burning out.

We talk about:

· Why burnout often hides behind ambition and productivity
· The myth of constant busyness as a measure of success
· How to recognize early warning signs before burnout takes over
· Redefining success in a way that supports both growth and well-being
· Building systems and boundaries that protect your energy
· The unique challenges faced by women in tech and high-performance spaces
· How cultural expectations shape ambition and how to break free from them
· The role of delegation, AI, and community in sustainable success
· Why progress matters more than perfection

This is a direct, eye-opening conversation about taking back control from burnout — and learning how to pursue ambition in a way that actually fuels your life, instead of draining it.
